Birds are very sensitive creatures and today's pollution and deforestation is disturbing their life.
May God protect these birds by protecting their habitat.

that killing of birds all over INDIA stops as soon as possible. I also wish that GOD pay jail in future. I too much love birds ...........

i wish that the killing of birds at Bakheera Bird Sanctuary stops as soon as possible. And i also wish that everyone knows that such a sactury does exist in the north eastern uttar pradesh.

hey my wish is that can you pleas....eee send me atleast 2 photographs of your choice at my email add...hope my wish gets fullfilled...

I wish to record all my bird sightings. The only way I can do that is by taking photographs. Hope you can advise what camera an amateur photographer like me can buy. Would a Nikon FM 10 be good enough?

My second wish is that I see this site up and running for many many more years contributing to the preservation of the birds I love so much.

I wish to see all these birds and more myself soon! Being a newbie at birdwatching, I have done a bit of bird-watching and each of these photographs gives me an inspiration and a compulsive desire to go out there and see them in real :)

So wish me good luck!

But for the betterment of the birds shall we get concrete support from the Forest Department ? Because due to lethargic attitude of the forest dept. many illegal activities like porching is going on. And we want to do good for them by your help...Please guide us ..

Thanks Roland

I could know the name of the bird i saw yesterday outside my window in the mango tree in Central Mumbai. It was small, greenish-blue with a red crest,red circles around its black eyes and a red beak with a red collar too and a whitish breast.Very striking. much smaller than the parrots around here.. definitely the beak was not like that of a parrot, very sharp.

Do you have a list and photos of the endemic birds of the Andaman Islands?
Would be very delighted.
Thanks
Sandra

I want to learn more about indian common variety of parrots. I bought one to save that. I want to really save it.

I wish I could spare some time for this fabulous hobby to admire the rich flora and fauna of our country with other friendly birders! Do you have tips from your experience? There may be many more like me, who may have the inclination but not finding time and may be hesitating in asking! I am sure you all great birders must also be occupied in some venture of your own!

What equipment do you use to shoot the Magnificent birds on the film? Please suggest a camera system for a casual shooter, but reliable one. Thanks

Hello!!

Hi my name is Leo and I have found a chick that was discarded or fell from it's nest. We have a bird in SA that we refer to as an Indian Myna (Comman Myna), this chick seems to be a Myna but no colouuring has started. Do you maybe have photos of myna chicks so that I could confirm that this is a myna.

Thanks
Leo

I wish you could tell me how to get a picture taken on slide on to the net with not too much expense!!maybe not with the fantastic resolution that you get but something to convey the general impression?

Dear Sir,

I was surfing the Internet & came across your website. I would like to ask if I could use the picture of the Senegal Dove on my web site to show that specie from India. Also would you have any other pictures of that specie: male & female, showing the side of the bird & any other dove pigeon pictures. Copyright will be added to any pictures I may obtain permission to use.

The IDS site is non profit & for the enjoyment of fanciers of the doves & pigeons. Please feel free to visit the IDS web.

Thanking you for your time & help.

Good day,

My name is Maggie Lee. I am currently a graduating senior at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. In order to graduate with honors, I must complete a senior thesis project. In general, my goal is to study the effect of native bird calls on rhesus macaques in captivity. I was wondering if you could tell me which birds most abundantly co-occupy the same habitat as rhesus macaques. I have been constantly searching the web for such information and have yet not come across it. I hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Sincerely,
Maggie Lee

Well, I'm writing a biography of Robert Ridgway, the Smithsonian's first Curator of Birds, and I wish that he'd visited India and that there were some original correspondence to or from Ridgway amongst archival collections in India! Does anyone know of any, or any collections related to the formation of ornithology in the U.S. between 1875 and 1910?

I wish to have information and pictures of peacock for a school project of my son - Rajas.
Thanks!

For the requirement my son's school, I need picture of some Indian birds.

Well, I wish that at this moment I'm trekking in the beautiful and lush hills around Bombay while listening to the amazing birds that thrive there :D
(Saw a couple of Bald Eagles around Bloomington; they'er the national bird of US and are making a strong recovery from the brink of extinction; people here love and protect their birds as much as we do!!!)
